The 15-year-old girl told police she was walking in the 600 block of Brownsville at about 10 p.m. Monday when she came across the man, who struck up a conversation with her.

Police said the girl was able to grab the suspect's wallet, which he had removed before the rape. She fled to her home, and her mother called 911.

As police began to investigate, they said they went to the crime scene and saw a man sleeping in the cemetery. The man was identified as Mark Mason Jr., 39, of Turtle Creek, and police said he is the suspect in the case.

Mason was taken to the Allegheny County Jail on charges of rape, aggravated indecent assault and indecent assault, police said.
